I feel like I'm living in a movie. One of the Star Wars movies to be exact. 'Attack of the clones'. I'm not exactly flying through space right now or fighting off droids with a bright blue lightsaber. That happens when I'm asleep. Rather Its the whole clone part of the story.
Living where I do I am surrounded by tourists in the summer months. They arrive in droves with their bad manners and park anywhere attitude and annoy the hell out of everyone else. Whats worse though is the fact that everyone looks the same. They seem to wear the same clothes and have the same gormless look on their faces.
Being unique is a rarity nowadays and seems to be becoming a sin. Wear something different or listen to a "weird" kind of music and you get a "Burn him/her at the stake" attitude.
It stems from this need to conform and be classed. We're taught how to in school and are expected to keep it up until we're cold in our graves. I for one was absent when this lesson was taking place. I have never classed myself, I listen to the music I want to listen too, I enjoy the things I do and don't care what people think.
Everybodys different afterall. Everyone likes different things so why are people trying to fit into a mould that is two sizes two small. Its time to stand up and be unique.
So for those who are like me I applaud you. I would certainly have a coffee at Starbucks with you anyday.

A long time ago in a blog far, far away....
Wow has been quite a while since I last posted. Mostly because I was making my posts far too long and it became a chore. So i'm back and better than my already brilliant self (My head just barely fits through doorways now).
So where should I begin.....I think I'll start this new blogging streak with a bunch of twats that fill me with rage. Debt collection agencies. Now i'm not in debt myself but have read countless forums and watched many shows full of people who complain about them (and for good reason). Basically they threaten and depress the people who owe them money. They say they'll get the baliffs to visit you and take your stuff. They say they'll take you to court blah de blah blah. They seem to think people can magic money from out of nowhere. Thats the reason there'll be no credit cards entering my wallet. I won't give them the satisfaction of making me feel like dirt.
I did some research into the powers of a baliff. Suprisingly they seem to have none atall. They can't break into your house, they can't just take your stuff and they can't harass you. If you have one knocking on your door, hes not allowed to force his way in like they'll have you believe. Simply lock doors and windows and give him a pleasent smile and a wave as he turns red.
So don't feel frightened by these big bullies offer them an amount you'll pay every month and they can't really reject. If they harass, put a complaint into trading standards or whatever organisation deals with them. Its time for a revolution. Stand upto them and make your voice heard.
I also can't stand people trying to sell you things. Heres a good exaple of how you should answer the phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5z4Vs26-TI (The link should work but I had to type it out)
So as they say, POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!
